Spring Performances Celebrate Class of 2018
Fall 2018 Spring Performances Celebrate Class of 2018 The Morris and Elfriede Stonzek Spring Performances, presented last May, served as a fitting celebration of the 2018 graduating class and a wonderful way to kick off Memorial Day weekend. In keeping with tradition, the performances opened with a presentation of the fifteen seniors who would receive their diplomas the following week—HARID’s largest-ever graduating class. Alex Srb photo © Srb photo Alex The program opened with The Fairy Doll Pas de Trois, staged by Svetlana Osiyeva and Meelis Pakri. Catherine Alex Srb © Alex Doherty sparkled as the fairy doll, in an exquisite pink tutu, while David Rathbun and Jaysan Stinnett (cast as the two A scene from the Black Swan Pas de Deux, Swan Lake, Act III pierrots competing for her attention) accomplished the challenging technical elements of the ballet while endearingly portraying their comedic characters. The next work on the program was the premiere of It Goes Without Saying, choreographed for HARID by resident choreographer Mark Godden. Set to music by Nico Muhly and rehearsed by Alexey Kulpin, this work stretched the artistic scope of the dancers by requiring them to speak on stage and move in unison to music that is not always melodically driven. The ballet featured a haunting pas de Alex Srb photo © Srb photo Alex deux, performed maturely by Anna Gonzalez and Alexis Alex Srb © Alex Valdes, and a spirited, playful duet for dancers Tiffany Chatfield and Chloe Crenshaw. The Fairy Doll Pas de Trois The second half of the program featured Excerpts from Swan Lake, Acts I and III.

These movements are typically done after warmup and closer toward the last part of class to avoid injury, and to maximize a dancers range while warmed up. Abstract ballet are ballets without a plot unlike the Nutcracker, Swan Lake, etc. Most often, contemporary ballets are considered abstract ballets.

The basics being that the two legs join together in the air. An attitude is a position where the dancers stands on one leg with the other lifted, either in the front, or back. The leg that is in the air is usually slightly bent at the knee, creating an approximate degree angle. En avant refers to moving towards the front.

Introduction: Music and the Story
Copyrighted Material CHAPTER ONE Introduction: Music and the Story If music doesn’t express the feelings of players, what else is there to express them? Big arm movements are a poor language. Le Siècle, 23 Sept. 1836 Several of the arguments in this book depend on my reading of ballet- pantomime music composed at the Opéra during the July Monarchy. Before set ting out, then, I would like to offer a brief general description of this music, since it is for the most part unknown today. Most important of all is the fact that for each new ballet-pantomime created at the Paris Opéra during the July Monarchy, a new score was produced. The reason for this is simple: these ballet-pantomimes told stories—elaborate ones—and music was considered an indispensable tool in getting them across to the audience. Therefore, music had to be newly created to ﬁt each story. Music tailor-made for each new ballet-pantomime, however, was only one weapon in the Opéra’s explanatory arsenal. Another was the ballet-pantomime libretto, a printed booklet of ﬁfteen to forty pages in length, which was sold in the Opéra’s lobby (like the opera libretto), and which laid out the plot in painstaking detail, scene by scene. Critics also took it upon themselves to re count the plots (of both ballet-pantomimes and operas) in their reviews of pre mières. So did the publishers of souvenir albums, which also featured pictures of famous performers and of scenes from favorite ballet-pantomimes and operas. Why were these stories made available to the public in so many ways? The mere fact that elaborate ballet-pantomimes were created at breakneck pace at the Opéra (about two new ones per year) is one reason: audiences had to learn a lot of stories if they were to understand what they were seeing (unlike today’s ballet-goers, who are usually offered a rich variety of plotless ballets, and a handful of familiar old “story ballets” like Romeo and Juliet and Sleeping Beauty, but very few new highly detailed “story ballets”).

Since Ballet Terms Can Often Be Tricky to Pronounce, I Have Included the Word Translations in Brackets to Help You Say the Terms
Since ballet terms can often be tricky to pronounce, I have included the word translations in brackets to help you say the terms. A Adage, Adagio (a-DAHZH) At ease or at leisure. Adage is incorporated into ballet classes and most classical pas de deux combinations. It is a series of slow, graceful exercises during the centre practice which is generally focused on line, balance and fluidity. It takes lots of practice to gain the stability and control whilst still having a sense of fluid movement. En L'Air (ahn lehr) In the air. This ballet term is generally associated with ballet movements that are in the air. For example, tour en l'air which is a high turning jump mainly for the male dancers. It indicates that for ballet exercises like rond de jambe and adage the leg should be lifted off the floor, such as rond de jambe en l'air. Allégro ([a-lay-GROH) Bright and brisk movements. This ballet term is associated to all jumps in ballet. So, whether it is petite allégro, or grand allégro a dancer will aim to show a sense of ballon and spring in the elevation. Arabesque (a-ra-BESK) This is one of the basic poses in ballet. The position of an arabesque shows one leg as the supporting leg and the other extended behind you. The arms can be held in various positions to show a first, second, or third arabesque. An arabesque is like a tendu derriere but lifted en l'air. The aim is to lift the leg without showing too much adjustment in the body, such as pitching forward.

The Nutcracker an Introduction
The Nutcracker An Introduction A Royal Opera House Education Resource 1 Contents Introduction 3 The Characters 4 Setting the Scene 5 The Story 6 Petipa and Ivanov 14 The Nutcracker past and present 15 What was expected of a ballet composer? 18 Dance: look for ... 20 Listen to ... Introducing the music 26 The Overture 27 Design: look for ... 35 Things to do and discuss 38 Formations and patterns 44 2 Introduction This pack is prepared for pupils from Key Stage 2 upwards, and most of the material is aimed at Key Stages 2 and 3. However, he approach adopted is equally appropriate to older students and the list of ‘Things to do and discuss’ contains tasks to challenge all, including 'A' level students. The teacher is invited to select and/or adapt according to the needs of the situation. Pupils attending a live performance of the ballet should be familiar with the story and, ideally, should be introduced to a number of 'anchor points' - features to notice and moments to listen for. For convenience, tasks and activities are often grouped around a specific art form, but it is important to stress that ballet involves several art forms. Listening without the visual dimension, or focusing on design elements independently of the music and the dance, are valuable approaches in raising pupils' awareness but they should be regarded as means to an end. In ballet the whole is much more than the sum of the parts. To make most effective use of this pack it may well be necessary to copy and disseminate the material among specialist or other teacher colleagues.

Ballet Glossary
Ballet Glossary A A la séconde - Meaning literally, “to the side.” A la séconde refers to the placement of the working leg, in this case positioned directly to the side of the dancer, raised or touching the floor. Act - A division of a ballet that contains one or more scenes. Typically an act in any classical or romantic era ballet will average about an hour in length, though it varies between performances. Some ballets, such as Giselle, are only two acts, while Swan Lake is divided into four. AD - Stands for “Artistic Director.” The AD is the head of a ballet studio or company, and the person from whom orders are given, cast lists are made, and dreams are granted or crushed. Ballerinas can be heard ranting about their AD frequently, especially during casting season. Adagio - Meaning “slowly,” an adagio is a part of ballet comprised of slow, soft, flowing movements. In a Grand Pas de Deux, the adagio is the second portion. It follows the entrée and precedes the variations and coda. Allegro - Meaning “joyful,” an allegro is a part of ballet comprised of quick movement and many jumps. Petit (little) allegro involves small, quick jumps and lightning fast footwork, while grande (big) allegro features the enormous leaps and jumps that have become the hallmark of ballet. Allongé - Meaning “elongated.” Allongé refers to a position of the arms in which they are fully extended. Aplomb - A term to describe the central line or stability of a position. A dancer wants to maintain perfect aplomb, meaning that his/her movements are controlled and steady.
